Actual rating was 3.5 stars out of 5.First of all, I want to clarify some things that some readers may not have gathered from what they've read. The ML was generally against competing and going out of his way to compete on different occasion. He mentioned that he had everything he wanted and gaining recognition and admiration from other people was unnecessary for him and he find it bit annoying especially if he was not doing it, not that he can't do it by himself, he can, but he just don't see the need to. He's rich and a lot of people love him. Basically he has the MC which was the most important person in his life even of he didn't realize that he loves her, he treated her as the most important person of his life. The MC in the other hand has some serious inferiority complex that developed due to her circumstances especially seeing the life of the ML when they swapped bodies. She does not have parental love and her social conditions forbid her to do the things that she wanted. She wanted to excel but she can't. There was no resources in her hometown so she could only found it from ML's life.So she wanted to compete to various competition even if its on the ML's body as it gave her some sense of satisfaction and achievement. I also have to emphasize that early on she already has some feelings with the ML and seeing there different circumstances made her even wanted to excel on things that she has control which was her talents. In order to do that, she can only do it with the MLs body. The ML only agrees because she wanted it and as she was a special person in his life, he will do anything for her, this was even before he realize her feelings for her. So let's stop saying it's unfair for the ML to get all the recognition when it's the MC's talent that was used. It's the MC's sole decision and she didn't even feel bad about it. She wanted to sooth her ego and she has selfish reasons for it. So how can that be his fault?And for some people who says that the MC didn't even have the chance to showcase her talents and abilities, surely has never continued reading the book. The MC won many championships on the areas she's good at, mix martial arts, tennis, piano among others. She even become a famous model or star. How can that not be an achievements of her talents, and mind you she's always the top of her class? So why you say so?Anyway, to the review itself. I'm probably writing this despite being more than 3/4 of the story because I feel like dropping this. Not that it's bad. It's just I think there's nothing more to look forward to asSpoiler
as the main characters have already confess with each other and it's just a matter of time. The MLs mother even liked the MC to her daughter in law. I don't care about the MCs parents and the future conflicts I felt will be on the MCs parents engagement to the Shen family and with the ML's mother ex bf who has a little bit crazy on the head, I think the MC will be dragged with the conflict there. Which was not very interesting anyway.
Especially with the entertainment industry arc, it just don't feel good to me with all the schemes and backstabbing in that industry. I feel that it's only interesting if the MC was one of those scheming b*tches of an MC who knows how to take care of themselves in the industry.
[collapse]All in all, it's a decent book and I really like how human the MC feels and act sometimes. She's tough and amazing but she's also emotional and not entirely a cold and lifeless character. I just feel that there's nothing more to expect so I am giving it up.
